Leaves in the stack cause absolutely no problem. In fact, very, very few leaves will ever get in there except for those that red squirrels bring in to build nests.
To Cover or Not to Cover, That is the Question!

From my experiences, as I have stacked my wood with and without covers. I have noticed that the covered wood seasons slightly slower than uncovered, but not much. However, the uncovered wood tended to have moist pockets of dirt and debris throughout the stack which attracts more bugs. Perhaps this is just me..I don't know....
I have found that tarps are poor covers as it blows around and collects water. With that being said, I prefer to cover my wood and I use metal roof sheating to do so. It works for me.
